Re: Setting up Disk Threshold Alerts

That's not how it works.when the threshold is passed the HPAgent on the server generates an SNMP Trap which is sent to HPSIM.Depending on what alerts you have set up for the events you'll be e-mailed etc.the hardware polling does not pick up where thresholds have been exceeded.

You can write a report to extract the data from the database and use that for management. I run a weekly report that reports on any servers where disk usage is over 80%.

Re: Setting up Disk Threshold Alerts

No, a breached threshold doesn't change the HW flag.When the threshold is initially crossed only then will the agent send a trap. It won't send again unless it fell below the threshold and then went back over or the agent is restarted.

If you want to test the mechanism there's an SNMP Trap send button on the HP Management Agents GUI (via Control Panel) using this should generate a Major Event.That will test if SNMP is sending traps or not.
